Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Liliana Cruz, LPC, draws from approaches that can be especially practical in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thought patterns and building coping strategies that support day-to-day functioning. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem, with an emphasis on skills clients can practice between sessions.She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while staying connected to personal values. ACT can be useful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in cycles of avoidance, and it supports taking meaningful steps toward what matters most.
Mindfulness Therapy may be included as well, offering simple ways to strengthen present-moment awareness, steady emotions, and respond with more intention rather than reacting on autopilot.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Liliana works collaboratively to tailor sessions based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy can make that support easier to access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexible options that fit busy schedules and different communication styles.
